The Wounded Engineer. Mr. C W. Collins, the wounded' cn gineer, 13 now at the City Hospital where he will receive every attention and care possible. He was suffering a good deal this morning, in consequence of not being ; under the influence o morphine, but his condition was con" sidcrcd as favorable as could reasonably be expected.

Tho school building connected with St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, on the corner of Sixth and Princess streets, has been completed, and the Sunday School of that church will hold its session there for tho first time at the usual hour to-morrow. It is a fine building, well suited to the purpose for which it was built, and is an honor and credit to the Society. The next thing will be to get a good pipe organ for their beautiful church and then they will be as nicely fixed as could bo desired. Tis more brave to live than to die." Therefore don't wait until a slight cough develops itself into consumption, but secure a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough yrup at mo small outlay of 25 cents, cure your cough, and live on happily. A Dash focFreedom. John Fisher, the colored thief men tioned in the City Court report, made a big dash for liberty this morning after having been surrendered to the sheriff. While on the way from the Court House to the jail he started and ran like the wind with the officer and others in hot pursuit, but they did not succeed in capturing the fugitive until be was near the Carolina Central depot. He was. brought back and is now safely lodged behind the bolts and bars of the jail. ! I Tho Baptist Conference. Bev. Dr. Frit chard, Pastor of the First Baptist Church in this city, who has been absent this week in attendance on the conference at Henderson of the Baptist ministers, is expected to return to the city to-night and to fill his pulpit to-morrrow. He was in Raleigh on Fridayand from some notes furnished-by him to the News and Observer we gather the following information.

Two beautiful palmetto trees were set out in front of the Opera House to day. They were dug up at Bald Head and transplanted here, and as they are splendid specimens of the palmetto, it is to be hoped that they may tlive and thrive in theii new home. , T . Ship wreck. The signal observer at -Fort Macon reports that the schooner SaUU Young. of Philadelpnia, is a complete wreck 10 miles South of Portsmouth! N. C. The vessel is broken up and has proba bly been abandoned. ; The Sallic Yoiing was bound for one of onr Southern ports and as she was long overdue, she had been gi venup for lost several weeks ago. .'' ; 1 ' ' j City Court. John Fisher, colored, who says that ho came from Ncwbcrn, was brought before tho Mayor this morning charged with larceny. The evidence was posi tive and he was required to give a bond in the sum ot $50 for his appearance at the next term ot the Criminal Court, in default of which he was committed. It appeared from the evidence that Fisher, with another colored boy, named Judge, went into Mr.A. Shricr's shoe store this morning, where the latter bought a pair of shoes, the price of which was $1.60. Hc handed the salesman two I dollars, and while change was being made was engaged in trying on his purchase. The clerk laid the 40 cents change down and Fisher took it up and walked out. The clerks thought nothing of this, as the two canio in together, and it was only when Judge cal&d for his change that they discovered that Fisher was not even an acquaintance. He was followed and caught at the Fourth street bridge, and he at once offered to give up the money, but his captors concluded that ho i ought to visit the City Court room and took him there with the above-stated result.
